Canceling calls from smart pillow speakers

Regular patient normal calls made by patients from smart pillow
speakers are canceled when answered at the staff console or
annunciator. If a regular Smart Pillow Speaker call was not
answered, or if a Smart Pillow Speaker call was upgraded, the call is
canceled in the same way that a call placed directly from a patient
station is canceled:
1. Press the Cancel button on the patient station or on any
associated station in the patient room. When you press Cancel,
this happens:
Status and Call lights, along with associated dome lights,
•
extinguish.
Tones stop sounding at staff consoles and annunciators.
•
The nurse call row disappears (two nurse call rows
•
disappear if a Smart Pillow Speaker call was upgraded)
from staff consoles and annunciators.

Call cords

Call cords provide an alternative means for patients to place calls to
the staff console at the nurses' station. The priority of a nurse call
placed using a call cord is either patient normal, patient priority, or
patient emergency, depending on how the patient station was
programmed during system configuration.
Call cords are used with patient stations and with single call cord
stations (HC-CCSTN). For patients in oxygen tents, air cord
assemblies provide a safe, pressure-activated means — and a
convenient method — for patients to place nurse calls. The call cord
can be plugged into the patient station or call cord station, then
clipped to the patient's bed sheet for easy access.
